Dr. Parks is the best orthopedist doctor for knees. He truly cares about his patients. He has a great bedside manner as well. I highly recommend him.
I met with Dr. Parks today, after some X-rays and a brief visit I’m scheduled for a hip replacement in January of 2026. I was nervous and had several questions as you can imagine. Dr. Parks answered all my questions and now I feel more confident and definitely less nervous about the surgery. He’s very professional and knowledgeable. I’m ready to put all this pain and discomfort behind me. Thanks Dr. Parks!
Truly one of the most amazing surgeons around
Very knowledgeable and personable.
Dr Parks did an outstanding job on both of my Total Hips. I am now walking pain free for the first time in several years.
I have been a patient of Dr Parks since 2016. I totally trust him to give me the best care.
Waiting too long.
Surgery and recovery went good. Very professional.
Fantastic experience.
I was very happy to meet Dr Parks! I had already heard very good comments from other medical professionals of how good he is!
